Octavo pp. 3-10 11-250 251-258: blank note: last four leaves are blanks; text complete despite gap in pagination original blue-gray cloth front and spine panels stamped in yellow. First edition. "Weird mystery thriller of the 'Yellow Peril' ilk; the Tao Tong kills inconvenient parties with 'zoospores of the banner fungus' which breed in the bloodstream and leave them 'solid with this yellow growth!' Rud is also noted for his early WEIRD TALES story 'Ooze' 1923 and another mystery HOUSE OF THE DAMNED 1934 inducted by Bill Pronzini into 'The Alternate Hall of Fame' in SON OF GUN IN CHEEK. His thrillers are entertainingly awful filled with character grotesques and absurd situations." - Robert Knowlton. Ashley Who's Who in Horror and Fantasy Fiction p. 157.

Rock Rodondo. Sketches Third & Fourth of "The Encantadas

198110253Bremen Maine and New York: Red Angel Press 1981. Signed Limited Edition one of 100 copies all on Fabriano paper each signed on and numbered by the artist/printer on the colophon. Page size: 12 x 12-1/4 inches. 26 pp; plus triple-page wood engraving. Bound: beige linen cloth that has been printed in very pale blue and gray at the out third front and back panels title stamped in black on spine. Front pastedown is an original paper mache sculpture of grayish-tan handmade paper of the "Rock Rodondo" with the Frigate-bird according to Melville the ".man of-war hawk.that makes his first land at Rodondo" flying towards it. The back pastedown has a tan fold over with wood engraving of Frigate-birds in flight protecting a triple-page fold-up wood engraving printed on ivory Japanese paper of the "Rock Redondo" with the aquatic birds that inhabit it. The back flyleaf contains an "Artist's Note" with a key to the birds pictured on the "tower." The binding is the result of the collaboration between Ron Keller of Red Angel Press and Philip Warner who designed and screen-printed the image on the covers. Mr. Warner who lives and works in New York City teaches at the Parsons School of Design; and his work on textiles and papers has been exhibited in numerous one-man and group shows throughout the country.<br/>This is an elaborate and unique presentation of Melville's text. Hand-set and printed in Bembo the text is handsomely set off by Keller's graceful birds. The title page also features the Frigate-bird in flight; these are blind stamped. An elegant presentation an homage to Melville. Out of print for several years it is available only on the secondary market. Red Angel Press unknown books

Secretary of State Edward Everett writes to Secretary of the Navy John Pendleton Kennedy on Justice Lemuel Shaw's behalf to recommend his son John Oakes Shaw for a position in the Navy. Oakes Shaw as he was known was the eldest son from his father's second marriage to Hope Savage. He became the brother-in-law of Herman Meville when the author married Justice Shaw's daughter Elizabeth from his first marriage. In fact Oakes had truly disgraced his family when in 1844 he married an "inopportunely preganant Caroline Caro Sarah Cobb."<br/>Reading in full "Mr. John O. Shaw of Boston a son of Chief Justice Lemuel Shaw of Massachusetts is desirous of being appointed a pursor in the Navy. His father equally respectable as a Magistrate & a citizen desires me to speak a good word for him. I have no knowledge of the young man but I am sure the Chief Justice would not recommend him if he did not think him fully qualified for the place".
